gconf error installing python program on mandriva

I have been trying to install a program called gramps which uses python. Now I'm using a magazine cover DVD Mandriva LE which has python and gramps also on the dvd. i keep getting the following error. i haven't done anything much to my system since installing it so i dont think i've ruined it. Clicking on the rpm invokes Mandrivas installer which starts and then produces this message.

i click ok and it says 'done' but it hasn't installed. i cant understand the message about the gconf.

Trying to install from the tar.gz it unpacks ok. Then I move into the new directory and then type ./configure
this works until the error ;
checking python bindings for gconf
no module found
gnome-python2-gconf could not be found

essentially, it appears that, either way, i need to change or install this gconf file. This must be obvious to someone but as a newbie, i don't know how to do this or what my changes will effect. Can someone please explain how this is happening on what looked like a straightforward installation?
